Our Take

202 Elizabeth is one of Sydney’s boutique gems – stylish, sustainable and surprisingly serene for a hotel in Surry Hills. What sets it apart is how fully it embraces dogs: from welcome drinks to a courtyard garden where pups can feel at home. For travellers who want boutique design with a personal touch (and their pup in tow), it’s a standout.

Staying at 202 Elizabeth Sydney

Rooms at 202 Elizabeth are individually designed, blending soft tones, timber and greenery with sustainable vegan amenities. Options like The Lizzy (with its sunset balcony and double vanity) or The Oxford (with its expansive terrace) give guests a sense of place and indulgence without overwhelming scale. The courtyard garden is the heart of the property — a tranquil, leafy retreat where you can sip coffee, read or work while your dog stretches out nearby. It’s boutique accommodation that feels polished but never clinical, with warmth and character all around.

Why We Recommend 202 Elizabeth Sydney

Because the team’s commitment to both sustainability and pet-friendly hospitality sets it apart: vegan amenities for you, tailored touches for your pup and a courtyard oasis in the middle of one of Sydney’s busiest neighbourhoods. For travellers who want calm, character and a wagging tail beside them, 202 Elizabeth delivers the goods..and the treats!
